It’s easy to forget what a phenomenon Edgar Wright’s “Shaun Of The Dead” felt like when it emerged as one of the major sleeper hits of 2004, earning a whopping $30 million on an estimated $6 million budget. Wright’s anarchic, surprisingly sweet horror-comedy earned raves from genre heavyweights like Quentin Tarantino (who would go on to become a pal of Wright’s), Robert Rodriguez, Peter Jackson, and, naturally, the granddaddy of American zombie cinema, George A.

“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” has all the makings of a sure-fire box office hit. Directed by Edgar Wright, who is the acclaimed filmmaker, most famous for his horror-comedy classic, “Shaun of the Dead,” ‘Scott Pilgrim’ featured an all-star cast and is based on a best-selling graphic novel. The only problem? Well, it was released in 2010 before Marvel Studios completely revolutionized the industry and made comic book films the cultural phenomenon they are today, and thus, wasn’t a big hit at the box office, at all.

Everyone likes a good alternate casting story. Imagine “The Lord of the Rings” with Jake Gyllenhaal as Frodo, or Will Smith as Neo in “The Matrix.” Well, can you imagine Robert Pattinson as the tough action movie star Lucas Lee in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World“?

“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is usually considered one of the best video game movies ever made because of how well it translated that medium into a film, despite being based on a comicbook. But the film is not often discussed in the context of anime, as the original comicbook was made in the style of Japanese manga. The colors, over-the-top action, visual sound effects, it all looks like it could be coming from a “Scott Pilgrim” anime that never was — but could still be, if Edgar Wright has his way.

Nowadays, people tend to look back at Edgar Wright’s film adaptation of the comic book series “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” with fondness.

Maybe it’s time to let the old ways of this almost-finished decade die, yeah? But it wouldn’t be complete without our deep dive into the best soundtracks and scores of the 2010s. It’s admittedly somewhat weird and difficult to do. Scores and soundtracks are different beasts; one original musical written for a film that gives it its emotional shape—often the secret MVP of a movie—and the other more of a mixtape, but when well-curated and used next to picture, can be just as deadly and help craft what we know as the visual and aural transcendence that’s known as cinema when it’s at its best.

Aside from Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, say Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola, there are few movie directors as synonymous with modern music and the way it interacts with a movie like filmmaker Edgar Wright. An avid music listener and record collector with a wealth of knowledge, Wright, director of “Shaun Of The Dead,” and “Hot Fuzz,” always had a strong relationship with music from the jump—before directing feature-length films he also directed several music videos—but in the last few years the fusion of his music and film taste has become symbiotic.

A great deal has been written about what an innovative visual stylist Edgar Wright is, particularly when compared to the relatively static, point-and-shoot nature of so many post-Apatow feature film comedies. In films like “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “The World’s End,” Wright deftly employs the very specific visual language of whatever genre best fits the given story —be it zombie horror, the buddy-cop movie, or Carpenter-esque sci-fi— to spin sharp, smart and affectionate comedies about subjects as varied as codependence, friendship and the dark underbelly of British politesse.

It’s been far too long since we’ve had a film from the excellent and dynamic Edgar Wright. The good news is that following his exit from “Ant-Man,” he dusted himself off and is now hard at work on his next film, “Baby Driver.” It marks a far-too-long four-year gap between movies for the filmmaker, but to help alleviate the wait, this epic supercut should do the trick.
